Quirks

[BarryG]

Thanks, you lot - you've made my morning!

I don't stick the last little bit of the old soap onto the new bar of soap.
I have no idea why.

Cheers
Barry

I got one of Freuds oral fixations, hard.

I chew my nails, I go through 3 or 4 packs of chewing gum a day, every day. I smoke, I eat just for the sake of having something to chew on, I chew the tooth brush bristles, I chew tooth picks. Just.. always have to chew something (and no smut-filled references, please)

1+

I also can not have one cup of water it has to be 2 or more

I have to eat symmetrically- one side of toast, other side of toast then the middle.

Always leave a piece of the favourite bit of dinner til last

Arr geeze, I do those too!
Hubby loves watching me eat hamburgers with the constant turning to eat all the edges first.
And even though it's gone cold by the time you eat it, have to finish dinner with the yummiest bit (hate it when you're full by the time you get there though, grrrr).

CDS +1

[QUOTE=Hubba Gubba;1404159]Glad to see i'm not the only one, my CD's are in order by Artist, but also chronological by the album release date if there's more than one artist. Guaranteed i'll spot a wrong order if the missus puts them back funky, and there's 450+ of the buggers.

But I have also do it with books by genres and alphabetically by author too.

Do you also do it with chocolate bars. I have to eat all the chocoalte off first and then eat the rest?

No, I reasoned that one as, the people who make the chocolate bar decided that it tastes good together, so that's how I eat those, and I like the chocolate, so try to leave as much of the chocolate at the end! (so sad!!)

I'm sure I have OCD, I have to fold all my sheets, towels, T Shirts, undies, bras etc the way i like to fold them, same with washing hanging. Toilet roll must roll from the front, all coat hangers facing inwards, sheets must be tucked in properly, pillow cases around some certain way, tidy cupboards etc etc (ask my hubby, it's truely sad!) It's anal i know, but i can't help it, unfortunately I have rubbed off on the kids I look after and the youngest is anal about how she folds her towel to go on the towel rail and how she makes her bed too!

Are you sure we're not bloody twins?

Toilet paper rolls over the top; coat hangers all with the hook facing in (easier to get off the rail for a start!); pillow case open ends have to face the middle of the bed for the side closest the door; washing must be hung on the line a certain way and dry linen must be folded a certain way (means my husband rarely does it as he gets annoyed when I redo it the 'proper' way!); sheets MUST be tucked in properly (legacy of nursing days, hospital corners!); nibble all around the edge of the hamburger so you end up with the best bits; towels on towel rail have to be folded in half lengthwise first, then placed on towel rail with fold on left side - same for flannels; don't like volume on radio to be set on 6 or 13 (not lucky numbers!); don't like drawers, cupboards or doors left open 'just a little'; I can't stand the tweezers being put back upside down - the long part of the points must be on the top; I make up nicknames for drivers from their number plates (got stuck behind a woman last week - ABD - A Bloody Drongo...); I 'write' things with my finger in shorthand; and I can't stand anyone reading the paper before me and creasing it!

Shit, I'm worse than I thought!

[Bikernereid]

Do you also have to make sure that the writing e.g. band name and title ont eh cd has to be at the bottom of the cd/DVD in the holder? I do and will even go and make sure it is like that with other peoples too!!

I also hate people bending the spines on books and will never lend books to anyone I see doing it. I always make sure that if people have but a book down spine spread that I make sure the page is bookmarked and the book closed.

OCD rocks and makes life so much more orderly.

Yeah, all the CDs face the same direction, thing that pisses me off is that some bands print the labels backwards, so that the Actual CD case is facing the right way, but the writing is back-to-front, Then you get a band like Tool who produce a CD that won't sit in any CD rack known to man comfortably.

Grrrrr. Stupid prog-rock.

[Mikkel]

1. the car stereo volume must be even or multiples of 5
2. I will only live in a house with an even number

thers a few others, but i really dont want to be committed

1. +1

Other than that - if I have any irrational quirks they're so ingrown that I can't bring them to mind.

[Grub]

We're gonna havea heap of fun if we're ever at the same party Maha, becausemy toilet roll's gotta go the other way.
I have no idea why, it just does.

Well I was just about to post that women always do it the other way {against the wall} ... now I'm really worried about you WT

[Grub]

We can't have our toilet paper rolling from the outside because our cat unrolls the whole bloody lot on a daily basis if we do.

See!!!! Even cats know the right way!

[Laava]

That's not a quirk! That's just plain kinky! Not criticising tho!

[Bikernereid]

What I mean is the actual CD not the case. The writing on the cd itself has to be at the bottow when you open the case. But I know what you mean about the edge of the cd case it really pisses me off if the writing is upside down.

Knives in to the right, forks in the middle and spoons (not tea spoons) to the left, that is the way!...everyone has a cuttlery organiser right?

A Milk Bottle (not carton) handle has to be facing you, not away from you, when you open the fridge door...not difficult is it?

Always fill a jug with fresh cold water....re-boiling is just not an option...apart from being just plain fuckin lazy!
